This facility, which opened in January 2026 in the completely renovated historic Poynor site on Dargan Street in Florence, will provide training and certification for a variety of healthcare professions for local high school students.

The second grant for $750,000 will expand Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas (HPHC), a coalition-based initiative to tackle chronic health issues, to Clarendon County.
